Chapter 137: Registering a Team

The few of them rested in the parking lot for a while before dawn broke.

Although I didn’t sleep for a long time, the quality of my sleep was very high.

The vast majority of the reasons come from a sense of inner security, and another small part of the reason may be that I was separated from the Lin family.

Yesterday, before Qiao Yu and his four companions entered the base, they said goodbye to Lin Yingjie and the others and the women from Nanliu Village and parted ways.

Now I finally don’t have to worry about the other people in the team.

The few of them quickly finished their breakfast and then drove to the Mercenary Hunter Center.

While waiting for the blood test results yesterday, Qiao Yu asked the staff at the door for a floor plan of the base, so it didn't take much effort to find the location of the mercenary hunting center.

The Hunter Center is a large courtyard surrounded by three houses with sloping roofs. Its style is similar to that of a Siheyuan.

When Qiao Yu and his five companions arrived at the door, Ding Baian and his six companions were already waiting for them there.

"Boss Qiao, Boss Jiang!" Ding Baian saw several people get off the car and quickly came over to greet them.

"Go to the lobby over there and register your team first. If you don't have a team, you won't be able to settle your points."

Ding Baian didn't waste any words and pointed directly to the sloping-roofed house on the left and spoke to the few people.

Qiao Yu nodded and walked straight over with the four people.

It was still early, so the Mercenary Hunter Center wasn't crowded. The few of them quickly received a Mercenary Hunter Team Application Form from the staff.

While filling out the form, Cheng Sinian saw Qiao Yu lost in thought over the "Team Name" column. Suddenly, alarm bells went off in his heart, and he immediately said, "How about calling it 'Xingchen'?"

Yu Qingchuan saw Cheng Sinian winking at him and immediately realized what was happening. He nodded hurriedly, "Yeah, right, the Star Team sounds great!"

Qiao Yu touched his chin and asked, "What's the meaning of this name?"

Seeing the name was interesting, Cheng Sinian closed his eyes and started making up stories: "Look, although individual stars are tiny, when they are connected together, they can gather into an entire Milky Way... This means that when we unite, we can illuminate the entire night sky! What a majestic name!"

"Hmm...it seems pretty good?"

Qiao Yu turned to look at Jiang Zhan, then at Luo Zhenzhen. Seeing that both of them had an obedient look on their faces that said, "You decide, I don't have any objections," he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go with Xingchen!"

Cheng Sinian stared until he saw Qiao Yu fill in the star in the name column with his own eyes, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He really couldn't praise Qiao Yu's naming skills.

However, Cheng Sinian never expected that the naming rights he had finally obtained would be lost to the staff...

"I'm sorry, the name 'Xingchen' has been registered. Please change your name." The staff member politely returned the application form to Qiao Yu.

"...then let's call it 'Koi'?" Cheng Sinian tried to turn the tide. "Koi is pretty good too, for good luck!"

The staff member checked the form and quickly and ruthlessly rejected the application again: "Sorry, a team has already registered for 'Koi'."

"Then...Chasing the Wind?"

"Excuse me……"

"...Prosperous Dynasty?"

"Excuse me……"

“…”

Watching Cheng Sinian try out more than a dozen names, all rejected due to duplicates, Qiao Yu's limited patience finally ran out. No longer willing to listen to Cheng Sinian's nagging, he simply crossed out the word "Xingchen" on the form, filled in the three characters again, and handed it to the staff.

Cheng Sinian and Yu Qingchuan looked at the big words filled in by Qiao Yu, angry but not daring to say anything. They could only pray silently in their hearts that this name would not be passed.

But unfortunately, such a "peculiar style" name obviously has a bit of a "unique" touch...

When the staff handed them the steel plate with the team name printed on it, Cheng Sinian's face turned green.

"Congratulations to everyone on forming the 'Big Pendulum' mercenary hunting team. Current team level: Level 1, team size: five."

It's over.

He could already imagine that when he went out to negotiate with others and asked for the team name, they would all give names like "Xingchen", "Glorious Dynasty", "Strong Alliance" or other names that were either loud or meaningful. But when it came to him...

——"Hey, which team are you from?"

——"Ha, my big pendulum!"

Cheng Sinian was completely desperate.

What do you call this, Qiao Yu?

Is vulgarity the same as elegance?

Cheng Sinian is, after all, an artistic youth. How come he has ended up like this after following Qiao Yu?

After the five people registered as a team, Qiao Yu walked with great vigor and high spirits.

Looking at Cheng Sinian again, he looked gloomy and depressed.

Ding Bo'an, who was waiting at the door, was a man who didn't know how to read people's expressions. He approached Cheng Sinian and asked sincerely, "Hey, Brother Cheng, what's the name of your team?"

“…” The imagined scene came true so quickly.

Cheng Sinian gave him a forced smile but didn't answer.

Yu Qingchuan, who was standing by, replied resignedly, "...a pendulum."

Ding Baian and the other six were stunned when they heard this and immediately lowered their heads.

Cheng Sinian gritted his teeth.

They laughed! They definitely laughed!

Don’t think he can’t see you if you lower your head!

No matter how reluctant they were, the matter had already been decided, and Cheng Sinian and Yu Qingchuan began to brainwash themselves silently.

The "Big Pendulum" is actually pretty good...

It sounds very...

Forget it, let it be.

Cheng Sinian, with a bitter face, went with Qiao Yu and the others to move the weapons down.

The place where mercenaries submit their tasks is not in the same room as the place where they just registered their team.

Qiao Yu took out a small cart from the space and asked several people to pull all the boxes of weapons and ammunition to the hall where the task was submitted.

Ding Baian went in and informed them, and soon several staff members came out to count the quantity.

After confirming that the number of mission targets was correct, the staff members gave Qiao Yu and Ding Baian a list and asked them to go to the counter in the hall to collect points with this list.

"Thirty-two points? A level four mission only has forty points total?"

Yu Qingchuan looked at the information registered by the staff and asked Qiao Yu in a low voice.

"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded. "Level one tasks are worth ten points, level two tasks are worth twenty points, level three tasks are worth thirty points... and so on, they increase according to the level of the tasks. This is also for the convenience of calculation."

However, level 4 tasks are really rare nowadays.

When registering for the team just now, Qiao Yu glanced at the task posting area over there and saw only two level 4 tasks.

After collecting the points, Qiao Yu and the other four separated from Ding Baian and the other six.

They also have to go to the research institute.
